Re: What movie did you last watch?

I started to watch Jaws 3 on TNT after the Pacers game the other night.

Lea Thompson in a bikini - oh I enjoyed it - but not enough to stay awake for very long. And wow, the dialogue was just brutal.

Why do the things that we treasure most, slip away in time
Till to the music we grow deaf, to God's beauty blind
Why do the things that connect us slowly pull us apart?
Till we fall away in our own darkness, a stranger to our own hearts
And life itself, rushing over me
Life itself, the wind in black elms,
Life itself in your heart and in your eyes, I can't make it without you

Re: What movie did you last watch?

I just saw "Warriors" again. Seen it plenty of times, but this movie ... Wow!

I will let someone else do the talking for me on this movie:

"If the conflict in Bosnia has become something of a forgotten war, it's not for the want of trying from the immensely powerful BBC film Warriors, the story of five young soldiers and their harrowing experiences in the region. Opening with an extended view of the five's home lives--all are on leave when called up to form part of the UN peacekeeping mission--Peter Kosminksy invites the viewer to experience the war at a strictly personal level. And while this leaves little scope for any general political overview of events (aside from the horror of war) this is a piece of drama and not a documentary. Once transported to Bosnia, the protagonists find that their role as peacekeepers leaves them largely sidelined and unable to intervene and save lives, often forced to stand by and watch mass slaughter. Not since M*A*S*H have the absurdities of "the rules of engagement" been so eloquently examined. It is the darkening spiral that the five are sent on by these events and the relationships they form throughout them that forms the crux of the film, never demonstrated more clearly than by the return to the friends and families who see them as heroes. Bloody and sickening in parts, Warriors is given extra poignancy by the fact that it is based on the real-life testimony of British soldiers. A million miles away from the Rambos of this world this is the war film coming of age. --Phil Udell
Synopsis
A drama based on the events of the British in Bosnia, told through the eyes of a group of young soldiers from the Cheshire Regiment."

Hands down one of the top-5 war movies ever. Btw it was first released as a short series on the BBC. The movie is edited from the series as far as I can tell, I have seen them both.

Re: What movie did you last watch?

It's a mildly humorous movie produced by MTV that's pretending to be some low-budget, Indie film. And it seems to be successfully parading as that. It's decent, but not worth the hype or attention it's getting (mostly because of the MTV hype machine).

Yeah,I just rented it.Its ok.It can be funny at times.MTV angers me........
First they take away Beavis ,then Tom Green makes a succesful show.Then he comes back with a talk show called "The new Tom Green Show"What does MTV do?Cancel it so they have more time slots for the likes the Real World and Ashlee Simpson MTV used to be good.Now all it is is Reality TV and Rap.

Plus they ended 3 South way too early and didn't even release a DVD for the hardcore fans...

Re: What movie did you last watch?

ONG BAK: Muay Thai Warrior... if you havent seen this movie.. i recommend you to go and watch it.. trust me.. just watch it... its the best Martial Art movie i have seen in my life

I'm so pissed. I bought this in Chinatown and there's no Eng. subs on my DVD :\ I usually don't bother to check. I'm gonna watch it anyway as the plot sounded pretty thin from what I've read.

EDIT -
Last movie watched: The 36 Deadly Styles last night. Starring Hwang Jang Li, Jack Long and Mark Long among others... Directed by Jospeh Kuo. Independent kung-fu flick from the late 70s or early 80s (too lazy to look it up right now). Kuo typically directed movies that were better budgeted, had better martial arts, were better looking and had better plots than the movies that most small studios were churning out in Hong Kong and Taiwan during that period of time. Other favs of mine by Kuo are the 'Mystery of Chessboxing' and '18 Bronzemen'.

I've seen Napolean twice, the first time at a party and I thought it was really funny. I watched it again yesterday, at home, by myself and thought it not nearly as funny as the first time. Maybe it requires alcohol to be fully appreciated.
